Quick Summary

The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk intends to award a Sole Source Firm Fixed Price Contract to Multi-Health Systems Inc. for EQi 2.0 Workplace Report assessment services. This is a notice of intent, not a request for proposals, and challenges to the sole source must be submitted by April 23, 2026.

Purpose & Scope

The Naval Leadership and Ethics Center (NLEC) requires 1,800 EQi 2.0 Workplace Reports Assessments to support its curriculum, specifically for the Major Command Master Chief and Intermediate Leadership Courses. These assessments measure emotional and social functioning, including stress management, self-perception, self-expression, interpersonal skills, and decision-making, which are critical for leadership development. The assessments are to be performed in Newport, RI.

Contract Details

  • Type: Firm Fixed-Price, Sole Source
  • Vendor: Multi-Health Systems Inc.
  • Estimated Value: $136,800.00 (1,800 assessments @ $76.00 each)
  • Period of Performance: May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027
  • Product Service Code: U099 (Other Education And Training Services)

Justification for Sole Source

Multi-Health Systems Inc. is identified as the original publisher and copyright holder of the EQi 2.0 assessments. These assessments are proprietary and exclusively available through MHS's online portal or authorized training partners who must direct users to MHS for purchasing. The Government asserts that no other assessments in the marketplace sufficiently address the topic of emotional intelligence or meet the specific requirements for psychometric validity, compatibility with existing systems, and continuity of curriculum.

Response & Deadline

This notice is for informational purposes only. Any challenges to this sole source intent must be received in writing by April 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Challenges must include sufficient information to enable the Government to determine if an equivalent product exists that meets the stated needs.
